Driving Business Innovation with Enterprise Architecture 2014

The purpose of Enterprise Architecture is to improve business performance. Success depends on having highly-influential Enterprise Architects, providing leadership in business decisions about the enterprise’s structure, innovations and investments in change.

The more that Enterprise Architects drive better business performance through innovation, the greater the influence they can have. As the history of Enterprise Architecture has also shown, the opposite is also true. The less it impacts business performance, the less influential Enterprise Architects will be, however much they excel at the technical aspects of their role.
